There wasn't much song and dance about them being included with the launch of the Fanatic paint range. Guess they were focussing on the paints and not the washes.
@@CullodenPaintingStudio Ha! Should have been clearer. 😅 Yeah, definitely that there's a difference between the old and the new. "We didn't change the formula" my eye!
Looking to do the same thing, my old tones are getting on a bit now. With the old tones I just used matt medium from Hobbycraft, along with a little water. It worked fine, likely to do the same with the new tones
I felt they were different as well, but chalked it up to the likely massive difference in age of the bottles. I have no idea when my old tones were made while the fanatics are likely less than a year out of the factory.
Yeah, that's something I can't be sure of with the test. Maybe I should re-test with the "new" ones in a couple of years and compare to see if there is degradation.
Thanks for this! Apparently, Army Painter keeps insisting that they've made no changes to their formular for the washes... even though they do behave different now, as you said at the end.
The one thing I can't be sure is the effect of use and time on the pigments and medium in the old bottles. But, the new Sepia and Rust tones provide much more of an overall tint than any of the others. Seems a different formula with those for sure.
I have old bottles of shade so i think i might get some new ones to see,it certainly looked like a difference on your models,new dark tone looked crisper.Not sure about the newer coloured tones havent tried any yet.
The one caveat to the whole test is that the wash in my older bottles will not have the exact balance of pigment and medium that they did when factory fresh. I might keep an eye on the results with the "new" bottles and report back if things get blotchier with age.
Excellent review mate,they sound a lot better
Cheers Justin. Pretty good results all considered.
Thank you for the good video with the difference of the washes. Have fun!
Thanks for watching!
A nicely crafted video and some food for thought.😊🐻🐵👍
Thanks very much.
A very useful comparison, shared.
Thanks. Glad to hear it is useful.
This was such a useful video! Many thanks.

Thanks for a really helpful video. I had missed the release of the new washes 🙄

Really interesting. Thanks for sharing. 👍
Cheers. Glad the comparison is useful.
I'm so glad to see someone else giving this a shot. I thought I was going mad!
Thanks for watching. You thought you were going mad because no one else was doing a comparison, or that you noticed a difference between old and new?

@@SonicSledgehammerStudio ah ha. There is definitely something different!

DIYing the medium is a much more economical way to do it!

I haven't got any of the blue/magenta/not a shade of brown washes yet. I don't often have a use for them. I am impressed by the new Dark Tone.
Cool 👍
Thanks for watching.
AP: Our washes are excatcly the same formula as before
Every youyuber i follow: Tests and discovers a difference between them...
